Kama Movement

What It Is: A workout that uses pilates-inspired moves to strengthen the muscles you use during sex—like the ones in your thighs and butt— so you can squeeze your guy harder when you're actually doing the deed.

Try It At Home: Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Raise your hips and butt off the floor and slowly rotate your hips in a clockwise circle 8 times, then reverse the direction. Repeat three times.

Stiletto Bootcamp

What It Is: Squats, kicks, knee-lifts and arm work—y'know, the usual bootcamp basics—while wearing your fave pair of high heels. By standing in pumps, you have to work harder to stay balanced, which keeps your core engaged and tightens it.

Try It At Home: Put on a comfy pair of heels—choose a broken in pair with a stacked heel you won't fall over in. Now try a sidekick, lke you would in kickboxing. Point your toe and extend your leg to the side. Keep your balance by leaning your body to the opposite side. Continue 8 times on one leg, then switch to the opposite side. Do three sets.

Bellydancing

What It Is: Get your Shakira on with these classes, which teach you to isolate and shake typical trouble spots for women— like your tummy, upper arms, and thighs.

Try It At home: Rapidly sway your hips from side by side while keeping all other body parts‚ especially your feet and knees, perfectly still. Do it for a full minute and then rest for 15 seconds. Repeat three times.

Lapdance class

What It Is: Not only do you learn to put on a seriously sexy show, but the slow, controled movements work your abs and legs.

Try It At Home: Try scissor kicks. Lay on one side, point your top foot and slowly raise your leg until your toes point at the ceiling, then lower your leg back down. Do fifteen times on one side, then switch to laying on your other side and doing it.
